Discussing other job websites is off topic. Hell, this might still be closed as not constructive, but I think asking the effectiveness of the Careers site may be ok.

I've received more than I've responded to, that's for sure. My current job was found through SO Careers, though. But they didn't find me, I found them.

I think this is a (bad) poll; that said, I haven't even been contacted. I haven't put much work into my profile, though my LinkedIn is about the same and there I get contacted a few times a month.

I've gotten a fair amount of offers. In fact, have one possible hire in the works right now.

That is, I've now been hired twice through connections I have made on SO careers. The latest time, the employer looked me up and had printouts of my profile and answers. The first time, I found them through a search and then they looked at my profile.
